Frequently asked questions about tns.dot
What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for a fintech founder?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
What is a TMCH SMD file and why do I need one to register tns.dot?
A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a digital certificate the Trademark Clearinghouse issues after it validates your trademark. To claim tns.dot under trademark priority you upload this SMD at registration so NicNames can verify your mark cryptographically. Without a valid SMD the priority window for tns.dot cannot be opened. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
For loan repayments, how does the first-day .PAY pre-order attempt work?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
Can the same label be available as tns.dot but taken elsewhere?
Yes — tns.dot can be free under .PAY as tns.dot even if it's registered under other extensions, because each registry, including Amazon Registry Services for .PAY, manages its own namespace. Availability for tns.dot is independent of other TLDs. Check tns.dot specifically at https://domain.pay/domains.
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing wallet.pay?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
